A deposit (Wth 1.08m; D 0.18m) of irregularly laid mixed brushwood, occasional twigs and three possible stakes. The elements are unevenly spaced and up to two pieces deep. The stakes are isolated set at 60-90° angles. Woodworking is evidenced by a single chisel point. The site lies in moderately humified Sphagnum peat with Calluna and fibrous roots.
